Here’s a before and after of my kitchen garden that was started as indoor starts, winter-sown seeds, or cuttings. The pots have now been moved and the raised bed is vegetables. The surrounding borders are a mix of common and native berry plants. It’s only a few months difference in the photo (fall -> early spring) and it’s much fuller already this summer.

I guess the original post asked for pictures of plants and I just posted my yard (which tbf has a lot of plants) so here’s a picture of a madrone I adopted. They’re my favorite tree but in serious decline in my area, so I propagate them and have started a colony of them on my property.

That's awesome! They grow like crazy where we live. My childhood home had one, I always loved playing with it's dried leaves and peely bark when I was little. It's wood is such a beautiful white too.

We had a lot where I grew up but the area I live in now has been owned by logging and paper companies for 100 years so it’s mostly been wiped out. The only remaining ones I see are beaten up along roadways (rare) or hanging off of cliffs.
